Help to reduce risks across extraluminal access points
Use the Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate gel pad 1664R pad for a variety of percutaneous devices, including implanted ports, large bore catheters, surgical drains and bone pins used in the care of oncology, haematology, orthopaedic and plastic surgery patients.
Tegaderm CHG is intended to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients with central venous or arterial catheters. Tegaderm CHG Gel Pad 1664R provides site visibility and immediate and continuous antimicrobial protection against microorganisms associated with CRBSIs for up to 7 days without additional moisture required to activate.
The highly breathable film atop the CHG gel pad helps to release moisture. The gel pad remains clear and protects even in the presence of blood, saline and exudates. The adhesive border provides gentle, yet strong adherence to skin, and the pre-cut slit in the gel pad is designed to conform around a variety of percutaneous devices.
How to use Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate Gel Pad 1664R with intravascular devices
1. Prepare
Prepare site according to facility protocol. Ensure site is completely dry. Remove liner 1, then liner 2 as shown above.
2. Press
Place CHG gel pad around the device, covering the catheter insertion site and ensuring that the device rests upon the slit of the gel pad. Do not stretch during application. Apply firm pressure to enhance adhesion.
3. Secure
According to facility protocol, secure the catheter with the appropriate transparent, semi-permeable membrane dressing (e.g. Tegaderm HP, Tegaderm I.V. Port, Tegaderm I.V. Advanced Securement).
4. Monitor
Inspect the CHG gel pad daily and change as necessary, in accordance with facility protocol.
Key Features & Benefits
- Standalone CHG gel pad engineered for versatility and antimicrobial protection
- Tegaderm CHG is intended to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in patients with central venous or arterial catheters
- CHG gel pad provides immediate and continuous antimicrobial activity – reducing skin flora and preventing its re-growth – for up to 7 days
- Pre-cut slit conforms around drains, external fixator pins, implanted venous ports and a wide variety of other percutaneous devices (up to 40 FR)
- Transparent CHG gel pad allows continuous site visibility to easily assess for early signs of infection
- Adhesive border ensures gentle, yet strong adherence to skin
